Private Island Dining

A gastronomic dream, dining on Ithaafushi – The Private Island is a world shaped to your desires. Picture a starlit barefoot dinner, a champagne toast as the sun melts into the horizon, and private chefs crafting menus that exist only for you. Guests may also request rare culinary journeys by Zuma Maldives and The Ledge with Michelin-starred chef Dave Pynt. A three-minute speedboat ride away, eleven signature restaurants and bars offer endless culinary escapades in remarkable beachfront settings.

“Dining is art — fleeting in time, eternal in memory.”

Private Chef

Personalized Culinary Journeys

Begin your evening with a sunset champagne cruise before descending onto a private beach glowing in torchlight. Each evening brings a new dining inspiration: Organic Gourmet, Shanghai’s Best, Asian Market, Grand Bazaar, or Japanese Fusion — accompanied by a live Bodu Beru performance. Alternatively, your dedicated culinary team is happy to design tailored menus limited only by your imagination. Connoisseurs may request a private chef experience from Zuma or for Michelin-starred chef Dave Pynt to fly in from Singapore to host a bespoke Burnt Ends-style private dinner — the best of Maldives’ private dining.

Ithaafushi Gastronomy

A short boat ride away, eleven acclaimed restaurants provide endless immersive culinary experiences.
